Erdogan Should Be The Last Head of State to Accuse Another State of "State Terrorism"

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday stepped up his
rhetoric against Israel over its deadly air offensive on Gaza, accusing
the Jewish state of committing "state terrorism" against the
Palestinians.

Erdogan is not a good spokesman for Palestinians since Turkey is not exactly innocent when it comes to killing civilians with airstrikes, and committing acts of genocide.

The Turkish government has backed ISIS terrorists against the Kurds in northern Syria for the last three and a half years. Turkish hospitals have treated wounded various Jihadist terrorists, many of whom came from Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia. Erdogan's rhetoric is intended to hide the reality that both his government and the Israeli government have treated ISIS terrorists who have been wounded in battlefields across Syria.

Two Iraqi Kurdish civilians were killed and three wounded in a Turkish air strike in Iraqi Kurdistan region during the latest operation targeting Kurdish PKK separatist rebels sheltering there, a Kurdistan official said on Wednesday.

Erdogan does not stand on any moral high ground when he lashes out at Israel in the Turkish parliament. He should be the last head of state to accuse another state of state terrorism.
